      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized x86_64 server featuring 256 GB of RAM and 32 dedicated Intel Xeon cores for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfr6.8xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 256.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per core ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 3.1 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, this KVM-based server lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but provides a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results indicate solid mid-tier performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 30656.07 and a PassMark database operations score of 11530.5. The system excels in memory-intensive tasks, demonstrated by a Redis SET throughput of 28.86 million operations per second and a cached memory read bandwidth of 1704.61 GB/sec. Given its high memory density and lack of local storage, this instance is optimized for in-memory databases, caching layers, and enterprise applications requiring substantial memory capacity without the need for local NVMe drives.

      Workload Profiles

      1.41Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
